Hi,
I am looking for some hardware (not software) that will insert text onto a video signal.
It's pretty common for VCRs, PVRs, etc. to display a text menu (sometimes with icons) on a video signal (usually a disgusting blue fill). What I am after is some hardware that will take a video signal in, insert some text onto it, and output it. I want the text to change, eg: " Temp=25 Humid=45% ", so perhaps RS232 data input (text size & location commands would be a nice touch!).
Don't want to reverse engineer an old VCR, so can I buy one pre-made?
Thanks,
MM
